This is an ex-display Mitchell MX5 2500S Spinning Reel, sold in its original but worn box. It has been on showroom display and may show minor signs of handling or cosmetic wear, but remains fully functional. Buying clearance or ex-display stock is a great way to get a high-quality product for less - these items are often end-of-line or surplus stock, not shop-soiled in any way that affects performance.

What to Check When Buying Ex-Display
Ex-display items may have light scratches, scuffs, or dust from being handled in-store or photographed. The box is likely worn or damaged. All mechanical parts, bearings, and the drag system are original and unused in fishing - the reel has only been on display. Check the spool, rotor, and handle for any visible marks before use. This reel is ready to spool with your chosen line and fish.
The Mitchell MX5 series is built for smooth, reliable performance in freshwater predator and trout fishing. The shallow spool improves casting with braided lines, and the carbon drag gives consistent pressure. With eight bearings and a rigid aluminium frame, this is a durable, low-maintenance reel for a range of techniques.
